(Continuing)
A few hours later as I sat in my office working, Jenny knocked on the door. "By the way, Jeff (My real name). Bonnie (My real life girlfriend's name) called last night and left a message for you" My heart raced for it had been so long since I had talked to "Beautiful" Bonnie.
Bonnie and I had met in the "Bitter Green" spring of many years ago. But "The Last Time I Saw Her" she was "Alberta Bound" off to write the "Canadian Railroad Trilogy". "Did She Mention My Name" I asked in surprise. "Of course she did. Here is the full text of the message". I read the message and then turned to her. "Tell the 'Boss Man' that I gotta run and I'll call in in a few days to make sure everything's okay." She nodded. "Everything Okay Jeff?" "Everything is fine Cotton Jenny" I answered. She smiled and waved as I walked out. In the hall I passed my buddy "Miguel" and a "Painter Passing Through" was adding a coat of paint to the wall. Outside the rain had picked up. The wind felt like "10 Degrees and getting colder" and a "Ribbon Of Darkness" was forming in the afternoon sky.

Look into his shining eyes and if you see a ghost don't be surprised......Listen to the strings. That jangle and dangle while the old guitar sings.
The lake it is said never gives up her dead, when the gales of November come early.
